Rebirth of COSPLAY

Xiao Yanchen stared blankly at Xiao Ze for a long time, and finally showed a smile with a sense of relief.

"I like this kind of thing... you are still Xiao Ze," he smiled and rubbed Xiao Ze's head, and said, "At first I thought you were a different person, and I wondered if the kind of person in the novel appeared. The shitty soul conversion thing."

Xiao Ze twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled dryly.

"However, the nature of liking role-playing has not changed at all." He let out a breath, fell on the bed, and Xiao Yanchen closed his eyes.

After two or three seconds, he opened his eyes, blinked his left eye at Xiao Ze, and said with a smile, "Then let's start class!"

Afterwards, Xiao Yanchen and Xiao Ze stayed in his room, telling him everything bit by bit, starting with Xiao Ze's interpersonal relationship.However, sometimes Xiao Ze's expression as if he was listening to a story made Xiao Yanchen very suspicious. After all, no matter how he lost his memory, Xiao Ze was Xiao Ze.Hearing his complete denial of what he had done before was not like amnesia but like being brainwashed.

Maybe this is what Xiao Ze looked like at the beginning, but he never told him before.Then Xiao Yanchen began to be a little curious about Xiao Ze's past, what happened to make Xiao Ze change from what he is now to the person he knows.

Of course, it was impossible for Xiao Ze to know what was going on in Xiao Yanchen's mind. If he knew, the corners of his mouth would twitch because of making Xiao Yanchen have such complicated thoughts.

The Z University where Xiao Ze and Xiao Yanchen are located is in this city, so the students living in this city will go home every weekend.Xiao Ze is studying computer science at Z University, while Xiao Yanchen is studying finance.

At first glance, Xiao Ze and Xiao Yanchen are very similar people, but in fact they are very different.Xiao Ze is a complete gnawing old man, and he has no intention of studying hard and accepting the family business.Of course, fortunately, he has an elder brother above him, and Xiao's father has obviously planned to hand over the family-run company to Xiao Ze's elder brother, Xiao Hai.Yuan Xiao Ze himself is also very interested in cosplay - when Xiao Yanchen talked about cosplay in this era, Xiao Ze was very surprised.

Although he liked cosplay in his previous life, he knew that he could not go very far on this road. Firstly, his family was not very rich. Secondly, in 2011, cosplay was completely unsuitable to be treated as a full-time job.Now, 31 years later, the cosplay business has developed quite maturely—"quite mature" is Xiao Ze's conclusion from Xiao Yanchen's description. Xiao Yanchen didn't say much, only mentioned that there is a special cosplay department in the school, but This alone is enough for Xiao Ze to understand how powerful cosplay is now.

Yuan Xiaoze originally wanted to go to the cosplay department of University Z—the cosplay department of University Z is very famous all over the country, but in fact, even though Yuan Xiaoze was rarely interested in one thing, he didn't have the heart to study it seriously .He will, just in the cosplay special store—yes, there is even a cosplay special store now, providing all kinds of props, clothes, cosmetics, and various services. Xiao Ze plans to wait tonight to go online Understand—buy a few clothes, buy some cosmetics, put on the clothes and make up your face, and you're done.In this way, I took a few photos casually, and of course I was not eligible to enter the cosplay department of Z University.

For those who take cosplay seriously, wanting to enter the cosplay circle with such a casual attitude is an insult to the industry, and the few photos Yuan Xiaoze sent to the cosplay department were also taken and put on the Internet Spread the word.It can be said that although Yuan Xiao Ze has not entered the cosplay circle, he is already "very famous" in the school's cosplay circle.

The Z dormitory is not much different from the one in 2011, four people share a room.Through the relationship, Xiao Yanchen and Xiao Ze are naturally in the same dormitory, and the other two people in their dormitory, one is a computer science student, Li Chengran, and the other is a well-known cosplayer in the current cosplay circle, Jiang Sheng.This person is good-looking—according to Xiao Yanchen’s words—he is a coser, but he studied photography in the cosplay department.Because of the fact that Yuan Xiao Ze sent photos to the cosplay department, many people were waiting to see their good show.However, Jiang Sheng himself was very indifferent, so the good show they were looking forward to did not happen in the end.

Hearing this, Xiao Ze's originally very excited mood was suddenly extinguished by cold water.

Z University’s on-campus cosplay circle can be said to be big or small, because there are often famous cosplayers in it, and the matter of Yuan Xiaoze may affect outside the school.

With such a good environment, Xiao Ze certainly wants to be a cosplayer, but with the current situation, if he wants to attack this circle, it will definitely be difficult.And now he is in the Department of Computer Science, Xiao Ze wants to go to the Department of Cosplay!

I found Xiao Ze a little depressed, although I don't know why, but Xiao Yanchen quickly changed the subject.

Unlike Xiao Ze, Xiao Yanchen studied hard and planned to accept the family business.After four years of university, he was going to go abroad, and Xiao Ze originally planned to go abroad with him, but now Xiao Ze obviously won't do that.He didn't want to go abroad at all, because when the Xiao family had already focused all their attention on his senior brother, Xiao Ze had the opportunity to choose his own development direction.As I thought before, it may be very difficult for him to attack the cosplay circle, but he has no intention of giving up such a small difficulty.

After lunch, the two of them huddled together for the whole afternoon. Before dinner, Xiao Yanchen left, and Xiao Ze was called downstairs to have dinner.

Still only four people.

When Xiao's father knew that Xiao Yanchen had come, he just sneered and said, "I don't know how a good boy like him would be drawn into you as a friend." Xiao Ze twitched the corners of his mouth, eating quietly and silence is golden.

After dinner, Xiao Ze couldn't wait to return to his room, and turned on the wall-mounted widescreen computer as Xiao Yanchen taught him.The rubber soft keyboard is placed in a side cabinet.Taking it out and putting it on the ground, Xiao Ze also sat cross-legged on the ground. After about ten seconds of boot time, the desktop that appeared in Xiao Ze's eyes made him froze on the ground in embarrassment.

How much Yuan Xiao Ze likes his brother... Even the computer desktop is his photo, what if someone sees it by accident? !

His face turned red and he quickly clicked on "Properties" to change the desktop, and looked through the other pictures in this computer. Except for the pictures of his brother and Xiao Ze after changing his clothes, there were only two cosplay pictures of other people.

Those two cosplay photos seem to be of the same character of the same coser.

In the first photo, the coser is wearing a heavy black dress with a silver belt on his waist and two red gemstones on black leather gloves on his hands.He was sitting on a gorgeous chair, looking elegant and slightly lazy.His long black hair was straight down to his waist, making his face pale.The tightly pursed lips have a faint red, which is the only bright color in this picture besides black and white.He tilted his head slightly and looked into a mirror, and the person in the mirror looked at him too.The two seem to be staring at each other's eyes, those obsidian-like eyes seem to be able to see bright colors that do not exist in this dark world.

In the second photo, he is still wearing a dark dress, kneeling on a lake, holding a sword in his hand.The sword was inserted into the lake, and the lake cracked like a broken mirror.In the reflection, he has long golden hair and blue eyes, like an angel.And this sword was inserted into his chest, and that beautiful face and figure were also shattered into pieces.Black hair fell down to cover most of his cheeks, leaving only his eyes.But looking into his eyes, one can feel that there is a smile on his mouth at this moment—a crazy smile.

There is a metallic English word "SATAN" under the two photos.

Xiao Ze stared blankly at the two photos for a long time, and then woke up suddenly when the knock on the door sounded. After choosing the second photo, he clicked "OK", then got up and ran to open the door.

Opening the door, I saw Xiao Hai standing outside the door, hesitantly said with embarrassment: "...I can't send you to school tomorrow, you..."

Xiao Ze was stunned, and after realizing it, he quickly said, "It's okay, Xiao Yanchen will send me there tomorrow."

Xiao Yanchen and Xiao Ze mentioned that before Xiao Ze confessed his love to his brother, Xiao Hai sent him every time he went to university.In the new week after the confession incident, Xiao Hai said that he couldn't send it because of something, and it was probably just an excuse.But Xiao Ze was also happy, he always felt that it would be easier to get along with people like Xiao Yanchen.

Xiao Hai was taken aback, his expression suddenly became strange.Pushing his glasses and nodding, he said "good night" and left.

Xiao Ze stood there and twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling that Xiao Hai might have thought of something bad.

Sighing, he closed the door and returned to the computer. Xiao Ze looked at the new desktop, smiled, and went online.

After learning about the cosplay industry in this era online, Xiao Ze was really amazed.

Today's excellent cosplayers are just like celebrities, with managers and announcements.

Many schools have cosplay departments, and there are also cosplay training schools in the society. Of course, if you have not taken these courses, as long as you have a serious enough attitude, you can still become an excellent cosplayer.

The content of COSER is the same as in 2011. It can be anime characters, original characters, or even SD dolls and visual kei bands.Of course, the first two are the ones that get the most attention.

Every animation, every novel comes out, there may be a coser who likes this work and casts a character in it.If this work is very popular with COSERs, then someone will select the best COSERs among them, form a team, and star in an official stage play—of course, there are also unofficial stage plays, but it’s quite different. In comparison, the former is naturally more concerned.

Excellent domestic COSERs have the opportunity to appear on shows, be interviewed, and publish photo albums...

Last year, a TV station specially released a cosplay talent show. Xiao Ze twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw this. Isn't this similar to "Super Girl"...

In the afternoon, the cosplay stores mentioned by Xiao Yanchen not only provide various clothes, wigs, props and cosmetics needed in the cosplay process, but also provide studios, professional photographers and post-production personnel.Some COSERs who do not follow the team and play roles alone can consider these services.

The final photo or the stage play video after participating in the competition can be uploaded to each cosplay forum.There are many famous cosplay forums in this era, but most of the famous cosplayers will stay in one forum and develop support groups in this forum.

Xiao Ze became more and more excited watching these things, and really wanted to prepare a role right away.But he can only do makeup, lacking photographers and post-production people.In addition, there is another very important question. He has never read any of the hottest anime and most popular novels of this era, so if he wants to start doing it right away, he can try the characters in the classics, such as Historical figures such as Qin Shihuang and Fusu, or figures in myths and legends such as Nezha.And if he wants to play this kind of role, he has to make his own character design.

Leaning against the bed, Xiao Ze raised his head and looked at the ceiling, slowly planning in his mind.
